Re: TL 1000s
I miss my TLs. I think I need to find someone with one and see if I can reach the bars!!! 
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Re: TL 1000s
That's a pretty epic rebuild thread. Trying to overcome 25 years of corrosion and indifferent or downright lacking maintenance makes for hard yards. I loved my '97 full fat TLS. As soon as Ohlins announced a conventional damper to replace the OE door closer piece of crap I was on it. Even today the motor wouldn't disappoint, but 25 years ago the thing was just ballistic.Taipan wrote: Wed Feb 01, 2023 8:11 pmHe was certainly rebuilding one. Thread on pistonheads

Re: TL 1000s
There was a new old stock TLS on Ebay the other week. A black one with delivery mileage and unregistered. I was gonna link to it but it disappeared almost straight away. Think it was a 2000 model and up at £11k.
